quade 4 #4 June 11, 2015 ryoder Around 0:40; I want to see how they filmed that shot! Off the top of my head I'd say Gyrocam on a helicopter. It's a dramatic shot, but nothing outside of the realm of what can be done normally for a helicopter shot. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed/data/mfc/pc/gyrocam-systems/mfc-gs_15inch_pc.pdfquade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The angle made it look like a (briefly) straight vertical climb, and I can't believe they have the thrust to do that."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Rick 67 #7 June 11, 2015 did not use much of the runway on takeoff kind of like the Otter load I was on Sunday with only 9 jumpers on board You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No cargo, no passengers, probably just enough fuel to be legal. That said, ever fly out of Orange County Airport in SoCal? I think most people are shockingly surprised to find out just how steeply most commercial jetliners can climb if required.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

funjumper101 15 #12 June 11, 2015 QuoteNoise Abatement Procedures? Yes. Orange County allowed houses to be built all around the airport that was there long before the houses were. The wealthy people in Newport Beach don't like the noise. The departure procedure is max climb for a short while, then an abrupt pitch over and power cut to glide out over the ocean, then power comes back up and normal operations resume. The pilots used to use the briefing to let people know that the departure procedure is unusual, and not to worry. It has been quite a while since I have flown commercial out of John Wayne airport. The wonderful people in Orange County, when they had a choice as to what to do with Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, decided to NOT use the existing airport facilities to replace John Wayne Airport. They decided to take those 4,682 acres of already developed land that had runways ready to go, and turn it into the Orange County Great Park. This decision has had a major impact on the passenger count at LAX as John Wayne can't support long haul aircraft with the current facilities and noise abatement procedures. OC residents chose NOT to reuse existing facilities to service their travel needs, and instead chose to inflict those impacts on LA County and its residents. A $100.00 per seat additional airport facility fee for OC residents that fly out of LAX would be a fair way to mitigate the impact. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about those of us who disagreed with The Great Park and surrounding malfeasance and wanted the space to be used as an airport? Come on now. Not everybody wanted The Great Park, just the developers who knew they could get it eventually turned into more development and housing. But anyway, we're getting off topic. SNA has an awesome departure procedure that is about as close to a rocket launch and vomit-comet ride as the average passenger is going to get.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
